@JoeyRec Yeman, I believe that it dates way back further too. ... It mirrors the constellation of "Draco" in the northern sky back to 10.500 b.c. Check a view of the WHOLE temple compound from above, and compare it with an image of Draco, then "Roll" the sky back to 10.500 b.c, and it is a heaven's mirror image ! . Its the same with the Pyramids of Giza, they target "Orion".

This is what learning from traditional schooling/history gets you.. Angkor Wat is far older than 2,000 years old. There are even mysterious carvings of dinosaurs on the temple.

The kings were portrayed as giants, not as an artistic statement to show royalty, but because they were literally giants. Its the same thing Egyptology does with the art of Akhenaten.. these were god kings that came from the heavens, in many stories they were hermaphroditic..

In the bible they are knob as Nephilim.

Hi Dr. Jennifer, The word Bonthia Srey mean a palace of women. It's because it was build by women only. Men and women had a contest back then. Men build a temple and women build a temple who ever finish first the loser will asked for hand when a couple is getting married. The women won; since then men asked women for a hand to be married and pay for the entire wedding.

amazing presentation

Really good. Very informative. The Doc obviously loves, and is in some awe of khmer culture. Well, who could fail to be?

Cambodia was never a French colony, only a protectorate, not the same thing.

No outlets from the so called reservoirs - The West and East Barays - have ever been discovered. Believe me, archaeologists have looked really hard to find them! Without an outlet, the idea of these Barays being used to irrigate paddy fields cannot be established as true.

thank u for setting the hisrtry of khmer correctly under archeology evidence and studies, for the the world to see the truth thru ur lectures . thai,lao. been lying about there history and culture and manipulation khmer history ,says it there culture idea and they came first and settle before khmer civilization. there writing system came from khmer, a khmer languestic created the thai writing system and language borrow from khmer during the 14 century. info been past on from century .

Now the world know about the real history of Cambodia. And shame on Thai lying about their own history. Stating that Angkor Wat belong to them.

I was there twice. It's so wonderful of being there. I saw one westerner guy been there 20 times and he still want to go there. So it shows how magical that place is.

Thailand, Laos, and Southern part of Vietnam were once part of Cambodia ( Khmer Empire }
